Thumbs up pondskater orca bait boat

Having resisted the urge all last year, I finally decided to splash out on a baitboat. I used the usual fleabay and got a cracking deal on a reconditioned Pondskater Orca boat at £80.00 off retail. It arrived on Friday and I used it for the first time at my local lake yesterday. Have to say it is absolutely spot on (although I didn't catch a fish but heres hoping)!!! I had read a couple of mixed reviews but I really could not fault this boat. It is extremely robust (not like the angling technics I used to own!!) and for the price I paid I cannot complain. Anybody else out there own one of these and if so what do you think?

Re: pondskater orca bait boat

I had one for about a month ..Sorry to tell you but it was the worst boat i have ever used , loads of trouble wth the electric,s , remote stopped working ,Hopper door stopped working, does not tip out wet bait . too tall does not steer in a wind soon sent it back ..
Hope yours is one of the good ones

Re: pondskater orca bait boat

Fingers crossed!!! It has been okay so far and I have used it approx 6 times. Shame you had trouble with yours. Did you sell it on in the end? If so, what are you using now?
